Peter Graves, star of Mission Impossible TV series, found dead at home

Peter Graves was found dead in his home at Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles today.

The 83-year-old, who starred in the TV version of Mission Impossible from 1966 to 1973, plus movies ranging from 1953’s Stalag 17 to Men In Black II in 2002 – apparently died of natural causes, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing police sources

I think Peter Graves had a heart attack, didn’t he?
Still, what a great life and fun memories for so many. I watched Mission Impossible as a small boy in New Zealand.

Poor Peter. RIP.

Quite so. R.I.P….lots of happy T.V memories thanks to this guy.:(

Poor Peter. RIP.

Captain Oveur: Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

I wonder why I enjoy that quote…..:D

Captain Clarence Oveur, Over. 🙁

Very much so and Gunsmoke was a favourite show as a youngster and beyond! And here he is in all his glory!

A bit of trivia for you..did anyone know his brother was James Arness of Gunsmoke fame

Captain Oveur

I think to send himself up like that was fantastic, but he will always be “Mr Phelps”….

I watched Airplane! again very recently.

Quite sad, but he’s had a career spanning 60 years. That’s not a bad innings in anyone’s book.

I recall many of his roles very well, but it’s still Airplane which I think of first, when I remember him. He might have mixed feelings about that or he might be delighted.
